Asian Winter possesses a multifaceted charm. It could be the serenity of ancient temples under a light dusting of snow, the thrill of world-class ski slopes in Japan, or the vibrant pulse of sun-drenched coastlines in Southeast Asia. For those who value privacy and time, a journey by private jet is the ultimate way to discover the magic of this continent during the winter season.

Join Wanderlust Tips as we explore the most luxurious coordinates for your Asian winter odyssey.

Niseko, Hokkaido (Japan): “Japow” and Far East Luxury Asian Winter

If Aspen is America’s winter paradise, Niseko is Asia’s “holy land.” Renowned for the world’s lightest and finest “powder” snow, Niseko is a must-visit destination for the elite jet-set.

With Wanderlust Privé, your journey to the “powder paradise” of Niseko is no longer bound by rigid commercial schedules.

Take off in style: Instead of traveling to major hubs and depending on fixed flight times, a private jet allows you to depart from any airport in Vietnam at your preferred hour. This absolute flexibility optimizes your time, allowing you to enjoy your vacation the moment you leave home.
Bespoke ground services: Your jet will land directly at New Chitose Airport (CTS). Here, you will be welcomed at a professional FBO terminal—where immigration and security procedures are handled privately, discreetly, and in just a few minutes.
Exclusive helicopter connection: Immediately after completing formalities, a luxury helicopter will be waiting to whisk you across snow-capped pine forests, landing directly at elite resorts in Hirafu or Hanazono in under 30 minutes.

Instead of spending hours on the road, you will have more time to relax with a glass of mulled wine and admire the majestic Mount Yotei the moment you arrive. This is the gold standard of luxury: where the journey is as spectacular as the destination.

Niseko boasts premier resorts such as the upcoming Aman Niseko or Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono. The winter experience here is not just about skiing; it’s about soaking in a hot spring (Onsen) amidst the falling snow and indulging in Omakase cuisine featuring the freshest ingredients from the Hokkaido sea.

Lijiang, Yunnan (China): Serenity Atop Jade Dragon Mountain

Winter in Lijiang offers an ethereal beauty with crystal blue skies and the towering Jade Dragon Snow Mountain shimmering through the clouds.

Lijiang Sanyi International Airport (LJG) is situated at an ideal altitude, serving as the gateway for distinguished guests to the land of the ancient Naxi people. Traveling by private jet helps you bypass crowded tourist groups, stepping directly into the peaceful atmosphere of the highlands.

Stay at Amandayan, where you can gaze out over the tiled roofs of Lijiang’s Old Town under a thin layer of snow. Waking up to a cup of Pu’er tea while watching the first light touch the snow-capped peaks is the true definition of “Quiet Luxury.”

Thimphu & Paro (Bhutan): Winter in the Kingdom of Happiness

Winter is when Bhutan is at its most silent and sacred. The snow-covered Himalayas create a majestic landscape found in few other places.

Flying into Paro (PBH) is one of the most spectacular flight paths in the world. With a private jet and highly experienced pilots, the flight through the Himalayan canyons is an exhilarating visual performance curated just for you.

Currently, there are no direct flights from the U.S. to Bhutan. If choosing commercial airlines, travelers often face complex transit itineraries with long total travel and waiting times.

However, with the privileges of Wanderlust Privé, all geographical barriers are dissolved:

Absolute direct flights: Your private jet will fly you directly to Paro Airport (PBH). No waiting, no transits—your journey is a straight line to the heart of the Himalayas.
Bespoke visual performance: Flying into Paro is one of the world’s most breathtaking aerial experiences. With a private jet and a specially trained crew, the flight through the canyons is a visual feast designed exclusively for you.
Elite all-inclusive round-trip pricing: This absolute luxury and private experience is designed as an all-inclusive package. The fee covers every privileged service from ground to sky, ensuring a seamless and flawless journey.

This is a wonderful time to visit the Tiger’s Nest monastery without the crowds. Stay at Six Senses or COMO Uma Paro to enjoy the warmth by the fireplace and participate in New Year blessing ceremonies led by local monks.

Almaty (Kazakhstan): Central Asia’s New Gem

Almaty is emerging as a novel and high-class winter destination for aviation enthusiasts. With the majestic Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, this location carries the breath of Europe in the heart of Central Asia.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) easily accommodates aircraft ranging from the Global 7500 to the Gulfstream G700. The VIP reception here embodies the legendary hospitality of the Kazakh people.

Shymbulak is the highest ski resort in Central Asia with modern infrastructure. After hours of snow recreation, you can return to the city center to savor high-end Central Asian cuisine and enjoy an architectural space that blends modernism with Russian tradition.

Maldives: A Sun-Drenched Winter Paradise

If you wish to shed your heavy winter coats and return to blue seas, the Maldives is always the premier choice.

Your private jet will land at Velana International Airport (MLE). From here, luxury seaplanes will take you directly to the private islands of resorts like Cheval Blanc Randheli or Soneva Jani.

December through February is the most beautiful time in the Maldives, with calm seas and brilliant golden sunshine. This is where you can enjoy a starlit dinner on an isolated sandbank or go snorkeling in warm waters, completely forgetting the northern frost.

Phuket (Thailand): Tropical Pulse and Sophistication

Phuket in winter is a gathering point for yachts and private jets from all over the world.

The private terminal at Phuket International Airport (HKT) is always ready to serve VVIP guests. Owning a private flight allows you to control your schedule, arriving just in time for sunset parties at multi-million dollar villas at Amanpuri or Trisara.

Beyond the beach, Phuket this season is a hub for art events and international golf tournaments. This is where you can meet like-minded peers in a relaxing yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Bali (Indonesia): A Journey for Body, Mind, and Spirit

Winter in Bali brings sudden tropical rains, making the Ubud rainforest lush and vibrant. This is the ideal time for wellness retreats.

Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) provides private parking for jets, helping you quickly reach resorts hidden deep in the jungle or perched on the cliffs of Uluwatu.

Spend time at COMO Shambhala Estate or Mandapa (a Ritz-Carlton Reserve) to engage in detox and meditation programs. The sound of rain on banana leaves and the scent of essential oils will help you recharge with maximum energy for the coming year.

Asian winter is not just a trip; it is a journey to discover unique cultural and natural values. Whether you choose the silence of Bhutan or the extravagance of Niseko, traveling by private jet ensures that every moment is cherished and served at the highest standard.
